Despite its heavily pirated status, it would appear that The Sims 3 has dominated the UK charts this week. EA's latest in the life and/or torture simulator is said to be very good indeed, with some great new features and, of course, a brand new (un)official nudity patch. Its huge mainstream success made it a shoe-in for the top slot, really.
Meanwhile, Sony exclusive inFAMOUS slips down from five to six, having had perhaps not the best of runs. It certainly didn't mirror the success of Killzone 2.
In another interesting twist, Call of Duty 4: Modern Warfare has now climbed above World at War in the charts. Perhaps the push to promote Modern Warfare 2 has made more mainstream fans check it out, or perhaps everyone just realized it was the far superior game. Either way, CoD4's online mode is still going strong, with plenty of newbs to kill, to make sure to get a game in.
Hit the jump for the full charts.

Also, no Wii Fit jibe? I am disappoint.
:P
That's pretty good going :|
Also good that Sacred 2 is there - very fun game.
But c'mon people, haven't you all bought COD4 by now?
The other one is this:
Anyway, it good to see Red Faction way up there.
*Sigh*
Why not put figures in for the games? Call me weird but I wanna know how much sales a piece of shit like Terminator Salvation has.
Anyways no surprise with The Sims at the top but pleasantly surprised UFC is riding high.
*Sigh*"
More likely he would be searching for chavs. However judging by the way this guy is wearing an ASBO, I'd say it's just someone dressed up as a chav for a theme party.
oh and chav themed partys FTW, they're so easy to dress for, ahem
(bought a copy)
It's fun, but all the little things that it's clearly missing makes me think they were purposefully withheld in lieu of an expansion pack... cynical world indeed.
